Project: Replace about 250 feet of 30+ year old fencing. I was coordinating with 3 of my four…read moreneighbors (the 4th neighbor and I had replaced our mutual fence a few years earlier...) When I met Joe, I took an instant liking to him. He was knowledgeable and passionate. The bid went smoothly and I was looking forward to working with him. After a delay of about a month getting my neighbors in line and dealing with the logistics of all of our family pets not having access to their yards, I decided to proceed. He came out to re-familiarize himself with the project and sign paperwork. He was set to start work two days later on what he claimed to be a "no more than 2 1/2 day" job. The fun stopped basically after I wrote the first check. On Thursday: No Joe. I had taken time off from work and he was a no-show. I called him that afternoon and got some lame excuse as to why he wasn't there and wasn't coming. STRIKE ONE. On Friday he arrived on time. He was apologetic, but the damage was done. In what I can only suppose to be eagerness to make up time, he started demolition of the almost new section of fence I'd done with above mentioned 4th neighbor. He put nearly half of the relatively new fence on the ground before I could stop him. WTF? The demolition took longer than he expected for various reasons, so they didn't pour concrete on the new posts until late in the day. Because of that, Joe said, he couldn't do any work on Saturday. But what he COULD have done is repair the damage to the section of fence he had destroyed that wasn't part of the job. STRIKE TWO. They got about half of the job up on Sunday without incident, but it took all of Monday to finish the project. Actual time was twice that of his estimate. STRIKE THREE. Oh, and I shouldn't neglect to mention that their company truck left massive oil stains on the street in front of my house and a neighbor too. We'll try to forget all the irritated phone calls I had to field from disgruntled neighbors as well. On the plus side, the fence itself looks to be a good job and they cleaned up the site extremely well. Not nearly enough to counter all the negatives.

This is my 3rd time using Rhodes landscape. Sadly, the quality of work and the level of…read morecommunication was not the same this time around. For starters, they were behind from the start on my project and materials were grossly miscalculated. Some of this had to do with changes made by our Pool company but some of them were also the responsibility of Rhodes. They went on a lengthy vacation and promised to start immediately thereafter. After about 10 days, we finally started calling to find out why they hadn't started. When they finally did start, it was one delay after another. We rented heavy equipment in hopes they would get it together, and they were permitted to use our personal tractor. Their own equipment was broke down constantly. During the boulder placement, they dropped a rather large boulder and took a small chunk out of our newly poured driveway. We also paid to have our spa moved to the backyard but the concrete wasn't done and it had to be moved from the existing pad because we had a huge project starting over there and our barn pad was being poured. The movers set the spa right outside the rear fence and when Rhodes eventually did pour the concrete, they manually moved the spa and damaged it. Of course they never ONCE took ownership of anything except the fence panels they took down and planned to reinstall with brackets. It was a custom iron fence welded on site. They also damaged two panels with the bobcat bucket. Thankfully we were there to see it. We paid to bring in about 300 yards of fill dirt and 50 yards of top soil. They had to use it because of the gross miscalculation of materials. Finally, they did all the planting's and about 30 plants DIED almost immediately. Kim eventually did stop over to inform us that they'd come back. We contacted them well within the timeframe for the plants and trees to be warranties. Most that died were 1 and 5 gallon plants. They replaced three plants total and with one pint plants, none of which were the same as what they pulled out. I contacted them twice after that and got no response. For starters, they used to be a great company but they've gone very downhill since the last time we used them. Never again. It's one thing to have small communication issues, or for things to change along the way. It's completely unacceptable to offer a design, charge your customer and then epically fail to follow through or keep your word. Now we've got 30+ dead plants in an already oddly sparse landscape, and after paying $50-$100 for EACH plant, we will have to personally dig them out and replace them. It's completely unprofessional on top of everything else. This is not what I'd expect of them or after paying $50k+ for my landscape. I think they justify it because it was bid higher and my husband negotiated the price with them. We heard more than a few times about how Rhodes thought my husband "squeezed" him for money. My advice, don't use them.

We had a landscape designed and hired Rhodes to execute the plan…read more PROs: 1. Very satisfied with the concrete and brick work. 2. Great contouring of the landscape, nice mounds. 3. Lighting system seems stable after a few months. 4. Irrigation (drip) and drainage functioning well. 5. Plants took for the most part. 6. Workers were professional and helpful. CONs: 1. At commencement of work it was stated that all plants were available but after planting, we were informed that at least four of the 16 types of plants were substituted. 2. Two aspects of the hardscape design were altered without any discussion. The deviation was not particularly critical to us, so we did not request any corrective action be taken, but it was significant nonetheless and probably should have been approved beforehand. 3. Six plants of a substituted species died within 30 days and were not replaced as the contract guaranteed. A phone message and two conversations about the plants did not lead to any action. It was stated by Dave that the dead plants would be replaced but when over a month elapsed, we replaced the plants ourselves.

Tom transformed my front yard a few months back and I can't say enough about his work and work…read moreethic. First of all, Tom has extremely good vision and taste. I mostly told him, "dry pebble creek, drought tolerant plants, flowers, low maintenance, no lawn" and he delivered that and made it more than I'd hoped for. My friends are now envious of my front yard. It is very zen and tasteful. A few neighbors scared me as they drove by veeerrrrry slowly past my house, and then I learned they wanted to know who my landscaper was. I would have had more done, but didn't because finances. I've accepted that contracting comes with hiccups but to me it's about how someone stands by their work and customer service when things go wrong. Tom's team went above and beyond and repaired a few small things that broke along the way, and Tom's team put in some extra effort to work around my fence which I wanted to keep intact during the project. We did wind up with a leak issue, and while Tom is sometimes very busy and a little hard to get a hold of - he always got back to me eventually and resolved the issue, either immediately or within a few weeks. Last but not least, Tom's price was fair, and I really hope to hire him and his team again next year for some other projects! You will get a beautiful garden with Tom.
